Working in Stourbridge
As well as Stourbridge itself (DY5, DY8 and DY9), we survey in Brierley Hill, Kingswinford and Dudley.
In Stourbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Stourbridge bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Stourbridge en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stourbridge. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
Head
A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.
Rules that apply in England
In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.
